Rong Xue's life had been smooth sailing since childhood. She came from a wealthy family, was doted on by her parents, and had friends everywhere. She was the proud little peacock of Jincheng's elite circles.
The day she got into the best high school in the province, her father gave her a garden villa with a river view. After excitedly telling everyone in his contacts about it, he pulled her aside and gave her two instructions.
First, his darling shouldn't study too hard. Good grades weren't as important as her happiness. Second, she wasn't to date before turning eighteen. She could take her time and choose carefully. Only someone with a good family, a good personality, good looks, and a good education was worthy of his daughter.
Princess Rong agreed to everything her father said. Then she turned around, joined the computer-science competition class full of top students, and fell for someone on the very first day.
The boy came from an ordinary family and was quiet by nature, yet he was as cool and elegant as a pine on a snowy mountain. As the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, he spoke on behalf of the new students.
Rong Xue fell for him at first sight and chased after him for over half a year.
Unfortunately, even half a year wasn't enough to melt that iceberg. At a class gathering, a friend from the neighboring class asked how things were going. The young lady gave a cold snort. "I'm done chasing him. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and it's not like people who like me are hard to find."
Everyone cheered. When they looked up, Xie Yu was leaning quietly in the corner, lips pressed tightly together, the knuckles around his book turning faintly white.

With the world championships approaching, just before she was due to go abroad with her team, Rong Xue suddenly received an anonymous email.
Attached was a photo taken long before she'd angrily declared she was done chasing him.
At two in the morning, the training room was still brightly lit. She had fallen asleep among the mountains of practice problems covering the desk, unable to fight off her exhaustion. Behind her, the boy carefully draped his jacket over her shoulders. His dark eyes churned with an emotion so intense it was frightening.
